Orange Pi 6 Plus
The Orange Pi 6 Plus is a Single-Board Computer with a CIX CD8180/CD8160 (Sky1) SoC.
The SoC includes:
- Mali-G610 MP4 GPU
- 28.8 TOPS NPU
- Image Signal Processor (ISP)
- Video Processing Unit (VPU)
System configuration
The board uses UEFI boot (pre-installed in SPI flash), which simplifies the boot process compared to U-Boot based boards.
Hardware support requires the vendor kernel (6.1.44) and proprietary drivers from orangepi-xunlong.
